Lamp warning, but they are working

As I drove home on July 4th, and also switched my lights on today during a brief rain, when switching on the Fogs, I get a 'Low-beam headlamp or fog lamp failed' error and a '72 basic body module left and right dipped beam defective' and A8AA and A8AB from scans.
The heads, fogs and DRL's appear to be working fine. I know this is a common topic, but if the lights are ok, should I ignore this? The error message happens whenever I switch on the fogs.
Are my fog lamps failing, or it it the nefarious FRM?

Thanks for your comments.

Did you ever get this resolved?

I did. Seems the OP installed LED conversions but they were not coded.

do you know if the conversion was the genuine mini DRL?

i just installed the mini DRL fogs and am getting this message for my front right fog. Everything works fine to the best of my knowledge.

only potential issues I can see is the light when dimming in parking light mode, dims in 2 stages. In other words, when switching on it goes stage or dim to stage 2 dimmer then full bright.

also I know my front right parking light ballast is out. Would that throw the fog warning?
